So with GG new zetas, I am guessing You can now use IPD suicide right off the bat and kill, Revan, Jollee, Traya, CLS, Chewie, C3p0 or whoever you choose to die first, making every match a 4 vs 4 but you choose the pillar toon that supports that team stand a chance? Cool I'm in.
Never mind I miss read it's all droids take damage each to 8 percent his max health. I thought that was against health. Oh well. Guess the little death Bot stays with EP for now.
If someone only had one Zeta ready when the rework occurred, which Zeta would be better to do first? As a bigger question, in what general order should I get all the Separatist Droid Zetas (this question would be better answered after all the reworks are out)?

We don’t know what zetas droideka and magnaguard have yet. We will know tomorrow though.
At the start of Grievous' turn, all other Droid allies take damage equal to 8% of his Max Health, doubled for Light Side Droids and he gains 5% Max Health and Potency for each other Droid ally for the rest of the encounter. This damage cannot defeat characters. That last sentence should tell you if it kills b1 or not.........
Technically, B1 isn't being killed. He's just losing 8% of his 1 health, which rounds up to 1 total. If B1 counted as being killed every time he lost 8 stacks instead of just after he lost the last few, that would also be OP, because of Grievous continually gaining turns with reset cooldowns, but since he's taking a turn, B1 loses another 8 stacks (life), which in turn creates an endless cycle... ...since B1 can't be killed by this ability.
Can you do a video with him in the sith raid? If he's really good in it I will invest heavily
I don’t think he will be good in the sith raid. The longer the battle goes on, the more health Grievous gets and the more damage he will do to his allies on each of his turns. B1 can only heal so much, especially when he loses 8 stacks whenever Grievous takes a turn.
What if you throw Hermit Yoda in the mix?
Here’s the thing. B1 seems like he would be great in raids due to his insane health and protection recovery. But he is not. Especially in phases 3 and 4 of the sith raid. Traya’s bonds of weakness cannot kill a character, but it can remove stacks of droid battalion from B1, meaning that every time an ally does something B1 will lost 8 stacks. They may have some viability in phase 1 or 2.
Dunno if this has been asked yet (I gotta go to a meeting sorry!) two questions-
1) With Skittering Horror replacing sinister laugh and metalloid monstrosity replacing tactical retreat- can i assume that if you have the originals at level 8 and 7 respectively- you will have them at the new abilities at the same level?
What happens if we do an annhilate from Nihilus on B1 ? He loses just 1 bataillon stack or he completely disappear ?
Nihilus's annihilate just "instantly defeats target". it doesn't do damage, so it wont trigger stack removal on B1. B1 can't be defeated while it has battalion, so B1 will stick around. Nihilus would gain 1 max health.
you'd be better off annihilating anyone else on the team

Well, they said that annihilate will take away 8 stacks even though it doesn't deal damage and therefor should NOT reduce stacks.
They need to add a line to B1's unique regarding the instant defeat abilities (devour and annihilate).
And they need to make sure that Nihilus' AI doesn't go for B1 with his annihilate...

missed the comment from crumb in the kit reveal stating that. a line in the battalion ability regarding that would be nice; just reading the abilities descriptions is where I drew the conclusion I did
You know, im happy greavous isnt terrible... but general kenobi took him down alone....
We getting a GK rework to compete soon?
In a duel. Not with an entire army of droids firing on him. A squad of droids under Grievous represents an army, or at least B1 does. Whereas an arena team of Jedi is just that, five Jedi.

Doesn't that mean that the damage amount rounds up? Are we sure that's how it works?

R.I.P. Sinister Laugh
Hmmm... @ZetaGrievous you stole my profile picture.... Don’t really care though, it’s not 'mine'.
But his leader and unique abilities (the ones getting zetas) don't currently use omegas?
Only Grievous’ leader and unique are getting zetas, and neither of those abilities currently have omega upgrades.
1) With Skittering Horror replacing sinister laugh and metalloid monstrosity replacing tactical retreat- can i assume that if you have the originals at level 8 and 7 respectively- you will have them at the new abilities at the same level?
2) do we know the cost for the two zetas hes got?
cheers guys
So basically: Zeta GK leadership, some clones reworked or some new ones and done.
I think it all depends on how hard of a counter to Revan it is and how easily Revan can beat it... Assuming he can beat it.
Dude I’d say you’re mod is slightly better. We’ll have to see which one of us manages to get more Max Health on our Grievous.

Alone, yes, and without his lightsaber....
Enter: Paper IPD (or just G6 or whereever protection sets in)
Lol. They just resolved paper zombie,after like a full year. Now they implement paper ipd?
